GENUINE BOMBS.
To be Injured by One of the Missiles
Meant Sure Death

CHICAGO, November 6th.-The bombs
found in Lingg's cell were given to Captain
Setback, it appears. That officer this even
ing reported that they appeared to have
been designed for use by some of the con-
demned men for the destruction of eyery-
thing with which their. fragments might
come in contact, as they were filled with
lead, zinc, antimony, and similar compost
uons, calculated to produce blood poison
ing wherever wound was made On one
end were fixed cap and fuse. while the
other end contained the projectiles that
would fly out as from rife barrel.
REAL CAUSE OF THE SEARCH.
Late tonight another remarkable feature
of the matter come to light, which explains
why the search of the cells happened to be
made to day. If is asserted that late last
night the death-watch in Murderers' row,
where the condemned men were confined
heard groans coming from Engers cell.
Stepping to the door he saw Engel lying on
his back, breathing stentoriously and
groaning. The watchman called him by
name, but could get no answer, and went
into the cell only to discover that Engel
was unconscious, apparently under the in
fuenee of some drug.
The prison physician was called, and he
found Engel to be suffering from the effects
OF some kind of poison. By strenuous exer-
tions and prompt dosing with emetic, be
was brought around all right.

WHY THE SEARCH WAS MADE.

Sheriff Matson was seen on the subject
during the afternoon. He was very reticent
at first, but finally told of the affair. They
had no reason, he said, to make this search
at this particular time, it being simply a
precautionary measure. Sunday was Sc
lected as quiet day, when the examina-
ton would make less disturbance than on
a week day.

THE CHOLERA SCARE.
Further Evidence of the Carelessness of
Quarantine Officials

New YORK. November 6.h.-The Com
nsercial Adcetiser publishes story told by
boatman whose reputation for truthful
ness is vouched for, to the effect that on
Sunday night last he rowed to Hoffman
Island, where the cholera suspects are
Quarantined, and that nobody interfered
with him; that he trafficked with the peo-
pie on the island and carried ashore and
mailed eight letters from them that one of
them offered him $50 to row him ashore,
telling him at the same time that number
of cholera suspects had escaped, one of
them last week. The boatman saw moth
ing to prevent him from rowing away with
a dozen Italians if he wanted to.
FURTHER ALARM
New YORK, November CHA report
was circulated yesterday that the French
steamer Chateau Yquem, which arrived
from Bordeaux, had cholera on board.
Health Officer Smith emphatically denied
the report, but said it WAS thought advisa-
BILE to detain the ship for twenty -four hours
for inspection and fumigation

rumors that she had cholera aboard.

Cooking Food for Cattle.

Prof Wallace has been urging the
use of cooked food for cattle. He
quotes the experience of feeder in the
eastern countries who adopted the
system of soaking the fodder with hot
water. The dry fodder, which may be
wheat, barley or oat straw, is chaffed
and laid out in heap on good level
floor, and the concentrated food mixed
with it. Hot water is then thrown over
the pile uutil the water begins to ooze
out at the base, The gentleman referred
to who used wheat and barley straw,
fed 10S fat bullocks and SO young cattle
for about fifteen weeks on an average.
The labor was not much increased, and
the boiling of the necessary water took
only about q hundred weight of conl
per week. His report is that he never
had animals do so uniformly WE'LL

HOW TO JUDGE SHEEP.


Purity of blood is invaluable, espe-
cially in the male sheep, as he is chiefly
to be relied on when crossing or i'm
proving the breed is desired. The En-
glish downs are considered the best for
producing first-class mutton, while the
merinoes are remembered for producing
the finest wool. The principal points
sought for in seeep are those that give
evidence of their fattening properties;
straight back, broad loins, roundness
of body are valuable points. A good
formed animal is one with plenty of
flesh, evenly put on, and as little bone
as possible The following gives re-
quirements for mutton sheep: Head
moderately fine; nostrils wide; eyes
prominent; ears broad, moderately long,
thin and covered with short hair; collar
full from breast and shoulders, taper
ing gradually all the way to where the
back and head join; neck short, thick
and strong and free from coarse and
loose skin; shoulders broad and full,
and at the same time join so gradually
to the collar forward and the chine
backward as not to leave the least hollow
in either place; fore legs, the mutton on
the arm or fore-thigh should come quite
to the knee; leg with heavy bone and
upright, clear from superlluous skin,
should stand out square and well apart;
breast, broad and well forward, keep
ing the legs wide apart; girth or chest,
full and deep; fore flank quite full, not
showing hollow behind shoulder; back
and loin, broad, fiat and straight, from
which the ribs must spring with fine
circular arch. Belly, straight on under
line; quarters, long and full, with NUT
ton quite down to the hook; hook should
stand neither in nor out, but straight;
twist or junction inside the thighs, deep,
wide and full, wife broad breast, will
keep the legs open and upright; the
whole body should be covered with wool,
of close texture, of good length and
fine quality. Farmer.

In common with clay, calcareous
earth possesses the power of making
sandy soils more close and firm, and, in
common with sand, the power of making
clay soils lighter, or more open and
mellow. When sand and clay thus alter
the texture of soils, their operation is
altogether mechanical; but calcareous
earth must exert chemical action in
producing such effects, as its power is
far greater than that of either sand OF
clay.-N T. Herald.

could discover SdlutGry effect from the first

A HISTORIC RELIC.
The Charlemagne Talisman Now in tho
Possession of Ex-Empress Eugonie.


Talismans are very much akin to
amulets. These consist of a figure cut
in stone or cast in metal, and made
with certain superstitious ceremonies
when two planets are in conjunction,
or when a certain star is at its culmin-
ating point. They were probably used
originally to avert disease, for we find
them mentioned in the history of medi-
cine among all ancient nations. Chris
tians were not even exempt from
similar superstitions. In the Middle
Ages relics of saints, consecrated
candles, rods, rOsaries, etc, were thus
employed, as they are still in some
parts of Spain. The talisman of our
day, that of Charlemagne. is in the
possession ofthc Empress Of the French.
Its pedigree is undoubted having been
found fastened round the neck of
Charlemagne at the opening of his
tomb. 1t was appropriated by the
Town Council of Aix-la-Chapelle, and
by them presented to the first Emperor.
He in turn made gift of it to Hortense,
at whose death it came by descent to
the husband of the present owner. 1t
is somewhat larger than d walnut; the
center is composed of two rough sap
phires-which stone is said to repel
govt and ague, and endow the wearer
with courage-a portion of the Holy
Cross, and some other relics Of the
Holy Land. These are enclosed in
filigree work of fine gold, set with rare
gems. A French journal, while de-
scribing the talisman as LA plus belle
relique de Europe" seems to hint
that the former good fortune of the
late Emperor Napoleon the Third may
in some degree be attributed to the
charm of the great German. 1t, how
ever, had not sufficient power to avert
his downfall and the triumph of the
country from whence first came his
talisman; nor was it sufficiently effica-
cious to prevent his death at a COM
paratively early age.-AH the Year
